Little by little, the Spurs are succumbing to mediocrity, and a 1-0 away defeat to West Ham will send them far away from the top of the Premier League. The Hammers striker Michail Antonio scored the winner in front of confused Harry Kane, pushing his side to the place that guarantees Champions League qualification at the end of the season.Despite a goalless first half, there was lots of action on both ends, with keepers, Fabianski and Lloris, struggling to keep the clean sheet.##EDITORS_CHOICE##The Hammers were causing a severe treat through Pablo Fornals on the left flank. The Spaniard kept feeding Michail Antonio and Soucek with some fine crosses, and the latter was only inches wide with a header 10 minutes before the break when even Lloris looked as if he was about to concede a goal.The guests responded with a superb Harry Kane’s header, but Fabianski managed to push it over the bar with the utmost effort.The second half started with lots of patience and caution on both sides, with not much happening on the pitch until the last 20 minutes.FT: West Ham United 1-0 Tottenham Hotspur• Michail Antonio’s third consecutive goal against Spurs at the London Stadium propels the Hammers to fourth position on the table. pic.twitter.com/YYptkIxflt— Aadoo Ozzo (@Aadozo) October 24, 2021 And then, after one corner kick from the left, Michail Antonio – with Kane on his back – reacted in a manner of a natural-born poacher. His quick and tricky shot left both Kane and custodian Lloris helpless, and the change on the scoreboard was inevitable.PREMIER LEAGUE – ROUND 9Friday Arsenal – Aston Villa 3-1 (2-0)/Partey 23, Aubameyang 45+6, Smith Rowe 56 – Ramsey 82/Saturday Chelsea – Norwich City 7-0 (3-0)/Mount 8, 85, 90+1, Hudson-Odoi 18, James 42, Chilwell 57, Aarons 62 og/Crystal Palace – Newcastle United 1-1 (0-0)/Benteke 56 – Wilson 65/Everton – Watford 2-5 (1-1)/Davies 3, Richarlison 63 – King 13, 80, 86, Kucka 78, Dennis 90+1/Leeds United – Wolverhampton 1-1 (0-1)/Raphinha 90+4 pen – Hwang 10/Southampton – Burnley 2-2 (1-1)/Livramento 41, Broja 50 – Cornet 13, 57/Brighton & Hove Albion – Manchester City 1-4 (0-3)/Mac Allister 81 pen – Gundogan 13, Foden 28, 31, Mahrez 90+5/Sunday Brentford – Leicester City 1-2 (0-1)/Zanka 60 -Tielemans 14, Maddison 73/West Ham – Tottenham 1-0 (0-0)/Michail Antonio 72/18:30 Manchester United – Liverpool
